Another book from Prevention. I honestly thought it would be about how to look younger using different herbs and oils to cleanse and tone your face and body. The book is mostly about what foods to eat, how to stay sharp, dealing with stress, managing your time, etc. There are chapters on how to protect yourself from different "ailments." I use quotes because some of these are not problems but just a fact of getting old and a life-style choice. For example the chapter on vision. It happens with age just like your teeth turning grey. The chapter on protecting yourself from loneliness is NOT to be confused with the chapter on depression. First, people choose to be alone, it doesn't necessarily mean they are lonely. Sometimes I prefer being by myself instead of with a big group of people. I've joined several Meetup groups and all of them start out polite. But then it becomes a competition with the noise level increasing and the situation becoming rowdy. I would rather go to a restaurant by myself and savor a wonderful meal than hear someone complain about the food or the restaurant non-stop. It happens.
